SToCKS-The market to-day, while in u
higher plane than that of yesterday, was
much less active and rather feverisb, Civ
ing unmistakable evidence of realizatiOns
in most of the active list. The opening
was somewhat irregular but generally firm,
advances over last evenings final figures
ranging mp to Z. The market was active for
the first half hour only, after which there
was n moderate trading during the re-
mainder of the forenoon. Considerable
weakness was shown in the early dealings,
Jersey Central, and Richmond and West
Point being most prominent in the de-
cline. The advance, however, was resum-
ed and under the lead of Milwaukee, Lake
Shore and Western and Canada
Southern the best prices of the
day were reached shortly before
IL O'Clock. Another slight advance o.
CURED early in the afternoon and the
market became dull. Later, prices yielded
over the entire list, but in the last hour
the strength in Erie checked the decline
and there was q dull but steady close at
opening figures. Sales, 299, 2S7 shares.
